to NOT want a cleaner?

[OrkaLiely]

it seems to be very common on MN; paying another person to clean your house. Why can't the adults in the house do it between them? And once the kids are old enough to hold a duste,r teach them to help out as well.

I'd hate someone else in our house cleaning up our mess. It sends a bad message to children too. And no-one in this age of dishwashers, washing machines, vacuum cleaners is too busy to do it themselves.

I take all posters on here equally until they prove themselves utterly bonkers. I've not come across her posts before.

There seem to be a lot of you should on this thread. You might as well say "just because, end of". It has as much logic.

I do take pride in my home theinets it is clean and tidy.

Why wouldn't theinet be taken seriously?

I used to have a housekeeper. Still cooked and did plenty about the place.

Now only have a cleaner. I do agree about everyone (even my three year old) chipping in

OP YANBU. Whenever I think I really like MN, I go and read a thread that sends me into a parallel universe and I realise I loathe it. I am with the OP totally on this.... and for those bleating about 'women's work' being a good reason to not do your own cleaning - how many of you are employing a MALE cleaner??

But how many MALES apply to be cleaners??? Don't be absurd.

Give me a good reason why I should do it myself.

Thank you ,ConstantCraving ...Threads like this make me loathe MN too

Well why are you posting then? Go and do your housework instead.

What difference does it make if the cleaner is male or female?

Why has this become a gender issue?

Surely it's about paying someone, anyone to clean your house!

Please answer me, why is it wrong to do this?

Male cleaners are too expensive

And lets face it - would be utter shit. Well these ones would be.

Oh FGS stop it. You are starting to sound like idiots now. Why does the bother you? I don't have a cleaner but would love one.

Honestly, It makes you loathe MN? This just reeks of envy.

My cleaner is male. Does that make it ok now?

I would like to make it very clear that my male cleaner is fully clothed when working at my house.

I don't understand the point if the semi naked male cleaners. My cleaner cones while I am out. She might strip off for all I know.

My next door neighbour has a male cleaner. He is very much in demand and has a massive waiting list because he is so meticulous. I'm sure that's the reason anyway .

It's not the fact that some posters have cleaners good luck to them , it's the fact that most MNetters think it's the norm .

Who think its the norm? Who has said that? There is a massive amount of stating as fact on this thread.

It's definitey not the norm in my circle of friends or work colleagues. Where has anyone said it's the norm?

No purple not envious. How to begin to explain? The world is divided between those who would have a cleaner and those who wouldn't. I wouldn't.

Eh? Who said it was norm??
